"Never gave up on my dancing skills" – Rapper Raftaar

Rapper Raftaar, who will next be seen shaking a leg in the upcoming season of dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, says people can expect a “heavy dose” of entertainment from him as he never gave up his dancing skills while focusing on music career.

Raftaar, whose real name is Dilin Nair, came into limelight with his 2012 hit single Bottle. He later went on to make songs like Tamanche Pe Disco,Whistle Baja and Desi Hip Hop.
